When to choose sun sails: tips and benefits
Sun sails are a versatile, durable solution for transforming a terrace into an elegant, functional space.
Unlike other solutions that require building structures from scratch, sun sails offer a practical, functional cover with minimal effort.
It’s therefore not surprising that in recent years sails have become a best seller in the world of outdoor furnishings.
Corradi’s Sun Sail is the answer for those looking for a practical, elegant sun sail.
Sun Sails are more than just awnings: thanks to their nautically inspired technology, these fabric sun sails offer excellent protection against the sun and UV rays. Sun Sails are in fact waterproof, wind-resistant and elegant. Thanks to their light lines, they add a refined designer touch to any space.

But which Sun Sail should you choose? The Defense sail is freestanding, can be turned up to 360° and can be positioned anywhere on the terrace. This makes it perfect for maximising the use of your outdoor space without adding constraints.
For more coverage, you can instead choose Scirocco: this rectangular, freestanding or wall-mounted sun sail can cover areas of up to 70 square metres. This makes it ideal for fully exploiting a large area while also making it look stunning.
Mistral on the other hand offers maximum flexibility, available in rectangular, square and diamond shapes and 113 different configurations to accommodate all needs.
How to position sun sails on your terrace
After choosing the sails most suited to your needs, all that remains is to position them in the best possible way on your terrace.
An effective solution is to mount the structure on the wall for continuous coverage. This option is also one of the safest and strongest, as the sun sail’s anchoring to the house walls will ensure greater stability even on exceptionally windy days.
Alternatively, if space is at a premium or you want a more flexible solution, you can opt for the freestanding Defense: with its stainless steel structure, it can be placed anywhere on the terrace.
When to choose other options to screen the terrace
Every space is different, with its own needs and priorities. Characteristics such as the house's exposure to the sun, the size of the terrace and personal taste in furniture are key variables to consider. Getting the most out of your terrace means evaluating all these factors so that you can choose the option that best suits your needs.

For example, for a more sheltered space, pergolas are ideal for creating an area of relaxation and comfort, and thanks to their robust, resistant structure they can transform your terrace into a veranda sheltered on all sides. This way you can enjoy your outdoor spaces even during the year’s colder seasons.
Another important issue to consider is that of privacy. A larger cover is ideal for creating an intimate space: with the addition of side covers, a pergola becomes an extension of your home where you can relax or welcome guests. A pergola is therefore ideal for creating a functional, protected and private environment.
Each space has its own characteristics. There are many alternatives for shading a veranda, and considering all the variables is crucial to choosing the best option. Discover the most suitable solution for your terrace among Corradi’s products.
